Highlights
Pet care experience
one dog at a time (no kids)
TLDR: WHY ME? - anxiety-free environment: one family’s dog at a time - routine matters: default 3-4 walks a day - stay connected: unlimited updates and photos - safe location: big fenced area in a safe neighborhood - fragrance-free household: no scented detergents MORE ABOUT ME: Hi! I’m Annie — a dental student and lifelong dog lover based in the Boston/Somerville area. I grew up with a corgi (Lulu) and a German Shepherd (Skye), so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive to routines. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific feeding or walking instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s needs — whether that’s a long walk, a slow stroll, or extra cuddles. I study from home most days, which means dogs get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I also have a car and access to a fenced dog park downstairs, making walks and outdoor time easy and safe — rain or shine. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care in Somerville. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I care for every pup as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Annie was a fantastic sitter for my dog Nala! She provided so many updates and pictures that made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands and was having fun while I was away on vacation. I would definitely use Annie again and would recommend her to my friends and family!
She was so helpful and attentive, giving constant updates about my dog. Truly appreciate her help with taking care of pet.
I cannot say enough good things about Annie, she was amazing baby sitting little 15 week doxie named Winston! He is opinionated, independent and stubborn like many puppies, but also his breed. Annie was so patient with him, every morning that I dropped him off and picked him up you could tell how much he enjoyed his stay! Routines are really important for puppies of his age - Annie wrote everything down and followed routine to the T! She also sent me so many updates throughout the day. Winston came back so happy every night! 🥰 thank you Annie!
Annie and Jack had an instant connection with my dog and were totally amazing! Very attentive, thoughtful, loving and responsible :) Kept me updated and made me feel great. I’m definitely keeping this team on my contact list. Thank you sooooo much!
Reliable, responsive & personable! Hagrid was so happy when he came back. Thank you again!

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and study from home most days, so I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, timely walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I also have a car and love getting outside for walks — rain or shine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency in every type of care. I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences, and I’m always attentive to a dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well cared for, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day includes relaxed companionship, walks or park time based on your dog’s energy level, and plenty of cozy moments. I love having dogs nearby while I study or relax, and I make sure they get both attention and downtime.
